However, the fans started to gather at the venue from 6 am only, and there was a huge queue of fans for the ticket collection. As time went by, the rush kept on increasing, and there was a lot of mismanagement for the same.

The fans who booked their tickets online through Paytm Insider also got the same time to collect their physical tickets at the venue. It is being said that the fans who chose the delivery method for the tickets also were asked to come to the venue to collect their share of tickets.
After the stampede, the fans were forcibly removed from the venue, and there is no information about the restart of the online sale as well. With the game just a couple of days ago, it will be interesting to see how the tickets for the match will be distributed.
